Words fail to describe the sheer power Bison brings to the stage. The venerable Vancouverites have traveled the world preaching their metal gospel, and we’re thrilled they’re coming to Nelson for the 2017 Massif Music Festival! Let their music wash over you on Bandcamp, follow Bison on Facebook and Twitter, and get your Massif tickets now!

MASSif fancies itself a little freaky, so we were more than pleased to friend Cloud Nine Oddities, a self-professed Boutique for Freaks. Hiding in Herridge Lane, they have eccentric clothing and smoking accessories to fit your bill, and a counterculture collective filled with creative creeps from all over Canada. Go get your freak on at Cloud Nine Oddities, then come on over to MASSif. You’ll fit right in.

Our stomachs are rumbling with excitement knowing Cake Betty is a MASSif friend again! With a new cafe at 709 Vernon St serving everything from breakfast muffins to delectable desserts, Cake Betty Cafe & Cakery is a cozy little spot to stop for coffee and refuel. Sweet as pie, she is…thanks Cake Betty!

MASSif’s got another couple of sweet friends supporting us! The local-born sister team at KootzRootz, who make comfy apparel and goods, call themselves “the Original Happy Hour Brand.” And we at MASSif are particular fans of happy hour. This friendship is clearly a complementary one. Thank you, KootzRootz!!

From Hamilton, Ontario, to your living room (literally)—consummate showman B.A. Johnston is a national treasure, and he’s taking the 2017 Massif Music Festival to the next level!

Who says punks can’t be dapper? MASSif’s newest friend, Baker Street Menswear, thinks they can help you amp up that faded black band shirt. Sure, you look alright. But do you look damn fine? Stop in at 571 Baker Street and check out their threads. You’ll thank us for it.

The fine folks at Remedy’s RX have signed up for the MASSif Friends list again! MASSif is proud to have the financial help of these consistent community event supporters and longtime music lovers. They’re located at 737 Baker St, and they’re ready to heal whatever ails you. Thank you, Remedy’s RX!
